    It's Tire Time and I have questions

    The tires on my Ranger are going to need to be replaced soon (225-70/15) and I want to go with one that fills the wheel well a little better. I had 31x10.50's on my 2wd 03 Edge and they fit great and didn't rub on anything. I'm thinking of going with 265-75/15's on my 11 2wd XLT, am I going to...

    Replacing Rear Springs

    I don't know about a kidney belt, my Ranger rides more like a car than a truck and squats with anything over 250lbs in it.

    Replacing Rear Springs

    My 2011 sits warnkie in the back and I've narrowed it down to the springs. Its 1" lower on the RR and the measured spring length is different from side to side, so I guess my springs are worn out, or at least the right one is. It also doesn't really sit higher in the rear as it should. So...

    Tailgate differences?

    I thought my tailgate was bent/bowed slightly, checked it today with a straight edge and its now. I bought a cheap camper shell that needed some repairs and finally got it on the truck, only to find out that the tailgate isn't flat on the outside. There is a slight arch to it, so the rear...

    Bent Wheel

    Took the Ranger into my local trusted shop for an alignment and tire rotate and balance. While on the way home from buying it (a week or so ago) I noticed it pulled right slightly and there was a bounce at certain speeds. Alignment was off a bit and all the tires needed to be balanced. The LR...

    2011 4.0 Idle shake

    Just got this and I've noticed that when warmed up and idling it has a miss or shake. 52K on the clock and I need to get an idea of where to start...no codes or drivability issues, just an irritating shake. Any ideas of where to start?

    Got another Ranger

    Been a LONG time since I've been on here, sold my Edge in 2010 and haven't been on since. Just bought another one...2011 4.0 S/C 4x2 with 50K on the clock. It's in decent shape, just needs some good cleaning and some paint work on the faded trim. Bought it mainly to be towed behind a...

I go to the local autoparts store and get a replacement motor and install it and now she wont start!! I had to pull the air cleaner to do it and I have checked the wiring and...

    4WD convertion

    OK, I havent started gathering parts yet, but I thought I'd run it by the experts first. My 01 Edge is basically a 4wd without the front axle and T-case right? So how hard would it be to make it a 4wd? Axle/crossmember, half shafts, spindle & hubs, and a t-case right? Or would it be easier to...

    86 Fender flares

    Does anyone know if cut-out fender flares are still made for the beast? I went back to stock fenders so that I had inner fender wells, I've trimmed the fenders sothat the tires dont hit but there throwing crap all over the side of the truck. I've found no-cut bushwackers, but those arent gunna...

    Radiator Help

    OK, here we go, my 86 is starting to have cooling issues. The only radiators I can find are 1 row factory style replacements. Is there any place that makes a "desert cooler" radiator for it or a larger one? Any help would be great!

    Hard Start

    Ok, its buggin me, I have a 01 Edge with a 3.0 and it is a pain to start after it sits for a few hours. If you just turn the key it spins for awhile before it starts, maybe 8-10 seconds. Now if I spin it for a second, then shut it off, and try again it starts right up.................whats up...

The header panel is cracked/broke on the right side and I found a new one on ebay that says 01-03 with 02 headlight mount. Doesnt an 01-03 use the same headlight? So if not whats the...

    Strange Fuel Issues

    OK, here is what it does; when you first turn on the key you get a fuel pump whine and all is good. But lately all goes well for awhile and then it just dies. Driving or at an idle, if I try to restart it I get no fuel pump whine and it tries to run but wont. If I let it sit for 5 minutes or so...
